Hello,

I'm also confused as to the settings on the caps? What does the
40/085/56 mean?


I'd like to help you but I can't.

I would to share two pictures:
  - my IIc dead capacitor: http://www.brutal-deluxe.fr/public/CAP_IIC_MONITOR.JPG

  - my IIe PSU: http://www.brutal-deluxe.fr/public/CAP_IIE_PSU.JPG
Remember the blinking LED on the motherboard! I was wondering whether
this could be due to the capacitor, they are all full of
"craquelures", oh! a French word.


Don't know about the blinking LED (very improbable), but these are both
examples of "X2" capacitors.  Replacing them as described earlier should
fix any problems related to them (except the residual odor ;-).
